As expected from Arty.

Pretty Satisfied.
Initial impression is great. Very very light weight goretex 3 layer shell. Standard Arcteryx craftsmanship and attention to detail. Jacket is virtually seamless through the body and arms, with the exception of zippers/pockets. I'm 6 foot 1, 170lbs and the large is perfect for me. It definitely has some room to work with, and can take some decent layering if needed. I might consider a medium if I didn't need a radio/harness underneath it. Lifetime warranty, great piece. And as always, remember, no jacket is worth $500.

I don't understand how it's not worth $500 when you've actually bought it? If you paid less, throw yourself a party. If you paid $500, there's no one to blame but you, not Arc'teryx. Go buy a North Face jacket, then...
